Vacuum Sound

The sound that I choose to write about is the “Roommate vacuuming” sound. Found this sound to be interesting because I feel that it could be applied to many different situations, only not dealing with roommates. The first scene that came to mind that this could be applied is the opening scene of a crime show. The scene could be inside the house where the crime is about to take place. No one would be originally speaking in the scene, the audio editors could originally make it so that the only noise you hear is the vacuum running. Then show the killer outside the house. This way it adds to the feeling that all the people in the show hear is the vacuum, thus they are delirious and unaware of the attacker about to enter the home. Other sounds would then fade in next, such as the sound of the TV and dishes being watched. Creepy, and eerie music would then fade in and add to the intensity and to the feeling that something bad was about to happen. I would imagine minimal talking to take place, but if the wife were to shout something at the husband from anther room to illustrate that they are apart, but the vacuum running drones out the sound, illustrating that the husband cant hear her. As the sound of the creepy music’s increases, so would the sound of the vacuum right before the crime happens and then suddenly the vacuum stops.
